Going from apache to iis

Hey guys,
So I have been developing a website using php and mysql. I
have been testing it on an apache server, but I just found out last
minute that the site will not be served by apache, but instead iis.
I have never run anything on iis before. Are there any problems I
should expect to encounter/lookout for? Are there any changes I
need to make to my scripts? Anything? Thanks!

PHP is generally platform-neutral. However, there are a few
things that
IIS doesn't support.
The most important one, with regard to sites developed with
Dreamweaver
is the fact that IIS doesn't support virtual(). If you have
defined your
site to use links relative to the site root, all your
connection files
will be included using virtual(), and will generate a fatal
error on
IIS. If you used document-relative links, you're fine.
Some installations on IIS don't support
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT] or
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'].
Those are the main things to look out for. Apart from them,
just about
everything else should work fine.

  • Possible to switch from Apache to IIS for 9.3.1 BI+ products?

    I need to see if it's possible to 'convert' my 9.3.1 Hyperion BI+ tools to run on IIS instead of Apache, or how hard/tricky it is.
    1) Anyone ever switched web servers? Can it be done without uninstalling & reinstalling all the BI+ products?
    2) what are the pitfalls?
    3) Will SS re-register with it smoothly or would I have to set all security & provisioning up from scratch?
    4) how to connect Tomcat back up to IIS?
    5) The Financial Reporting (reports plus books/batches), Web Analysis and Interactive Reporting documents, scheduled BQY jobs, and Workspace itself would continue to function normally once IIS is in use right? or do things have to be re-imported or something?
    6) The default port would be different right? does that cause any issues given this is an existing production enviro? Do i have to change the port in several places or does some re-register wizard take care of it??
    I've had Tomcat/Apache in production for over a year so before attempting this cutover I'd llike an idea of what I'm up against to make sure it's even possible.
    Thanks!
    Karen

    I'm switching them solely to have a better shot at implementing true single sign-on to where it'll pass the PC user's MS AD login ID to all the Hyperion products. With all my questions above I may have given the impression I was also moving off Tomcat, I am not. Was just being overly cautious to make sure my bases were covered. We're still using Tomcat so as I understand it, Web Analysis should still be okay..right?
    Pleasantly surprised that Support was able to tell me how to switch web servers, it was simple and it worked for Workspace (but I can't get Web Analysis working yet now that I tried to implement SSO at the same time):
    "As long as the IIS is on the same box as where you are using for Apache HTTP, then the simplest thing to do is to shutdown Apache, change the Port of IIS to 19000. Restart IIS, then run the configure Web Server component of the config tool, selecting IIS."
    To change the port of IIS6:
    Microsoft Internet Information Services versions 4.0 to 6.0
    1.     Open Internet Service Manager or Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
    2.     If necessary, expand the Web server that you want, and then expand Web Sites.
    3.     Right-click the Web site that you want to change.
    4.     Click Properties.
    5.     Click the Web Site tab.
    6.     Change the TCP Port Number in the TCP Port edit box (or click Advanced for multiple Port settings).
    7.     Click OK to save the changes.
    I now have Workspace working to where it does NOT prompt for a login ID, it works nicely & transparently running on IIS. Web analysis however literally produces a login popup box, the title of the window is the Web analysis server name. Can't figure it out so I opened an SR to hopefully get some assistance. Unfortunately I forgot to test WA after switching to IIS, I went ahead and configured for transparent login too before trying WA so I'm not sure which is causing the login popup box but since I can't get past the login box WA throws up a "you are not authorized to view this page" page.
    Ever done this? should it work? that is, WA running on IIS/Tomcat; and also WA working after following the IIS/Tomcat Transparent Login instructions provided by Support - they've been floating around for a while so I assume you've seen them...?
    Thanks,
    Karen

  • Going from apache 1.3 to 2

    Hello all,
    I am currently running OS X 10.4.11 and running Apache 1.3
    How can I get version 2 running?
    Thanks,

    You can switch it on by locating it it's stored starting from route your HD icon.
    /opt/
    in afolder named
    apache2
    you then need to switch to the terminal and type in
    /opt/apache2/bin apachectl start
    it listens to port 8080 so tap your i.p address or domain name followed by :8080 and thier it is.
    I don't know what version exactly of two it is. It uses standard apache system for storing your ht docs and your mods.
    Apple doesn't support it and it won't work with your GUI tools.
    You may as well go all out and install apache and PHP from source.
    I can't be arsed ever wrighting that up go to phpmac.com to get you started the tutorials thier will work with newer versions of Apache and PHP.
    I should imagine 10.5 is great but `i for one won't be upgrading just yet.

  • Remotely create sites from a non IIS server

    Hi! 
    I'm creating some scripts to create websites to different web servers, but I'm standing in a non IIS server. So, I wanted to install the powershell snap-in for IIS administration, but I read that from Windows R2 it's a module, and can only be accessed from
    an IIS server. 
    So, my question goes to, if I can't install the snap-in anymore because I'm working with R2 servers, can I create some local script that creates all my sites, and then just invoke it from my non IIS server? Or that is not going to work?
    Thanks!

    Hello.
    You can install windows features (windows server 2008) using this:
    Import-Module ServerManager
    Get-WindowsFeature
    Add-WindowsFeature FeatureName
    Unfortunately IIS cmdlets don't have -ComputerName parameter and you cannot manage a remote server.
    In powershell 3 you can use remote modules (remooting should be enabled on the remote server - see
    man about_Remote_Requirements):
    $servername="Server1"
    $session=New-PSSession -ComputerName $servername -Credential (Get-Credential -Message "Enter your credential to access $servername")
    Import-Module WebAdministration -PSSession $session
    get-website # will be ran on remote server
    Good luck)

  • Running apache and IIS on SBS: 403 permissions issue

    I'm trying to run Apache and IIS at the same time on the
    Windows SBS. I can bring up the Apache screen from a terminal, but
    I get the dreaded: 403 access denied. I've hunted around for a
    solution, but without much luck. Thanks in advance for any
    suggestions.
    Mike

    update: last night i was up so late trying to tweak the
    config file that i probably messed something up. i uninstalled the
    apache and re-installed and set the port to listen on 8080. seems
    to be working now!
    one thing i found strange: on the server i typed in the ip
    address of the server:8080 and it woudn't access the apache . . .
    but, it would as a localhost.
    anyway its working now . . . proof that just posting
    something on this board gets results ;)

  • Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

        Oh no Mr.Ected!
    I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

  • Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

    going from 4s to 6 can I save my favorite voice mails and voice memos to put on my new phone via pc or cloud

  • IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

    After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
    Thanks

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 The software update option is not on my phone.  It just goes from "about" to "usage".  I have an iPhone 3G.  Every time I try to update it on iTunes, nothing changes.  I have version 4.2.1, no matter what I do.  Any suggestions?

    I have an iPhone 3G, and cannot update my iOS.  In the General tab, "Upadate Software" is not even there.  It just goes from "About" to "Usage".  When I try to update on iTunes, it always remains the same.  iOS 4.2.1.  Any suggestions?  (My PC uses Windows XP).   Also, my WiFi has completely quit working.  Works fine on the other iPhones in the house, as well as the XBox 360, so I am sure it's my phone.  I tried everything I could think of, including restoring the iphone to factory settings & then updating, but no luck.  Thank you! for any help you can give!  I plan to get an iPhone 5, but wasn't ready to do it quite yet.  Hopefully my phone can be rescued until I'm ready.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
    However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.
